Andreas Schnider

Created by LouisAlain (talk) and Gerda Arendt (talk). Nominated by Gerda Arendt (talk) at 22:13, 9 July 2021 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
  • Cited: Yes - Offline/paywalled citation accepted in good faith
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Article is new enough, long enough and has no copyvio. Assuming good faith on Austrian sources. The hook is kind of boring however. I have a hard time seeing it make the cut for DYK but would be happy to consider alt hooks. Edit: ALT1 looks better and I'll approve ALT0 as a backup option per promoter's discretion.

I am not used to theologians being party leaders. What else would strike you as more interesting? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:12, 29 July 2021 (UTC)
Hi Gerda Arendt, I'm not sure. It's not uncommon for academics to go into politics, so an Austrian theologian being involved in Austrian politics struck me more as a basic fact than a surprise juxtaposition. If you or another editor had an alt hook we could proceed with that. I'm also more than happy to change my stance on the hook if others find it interesting.

Thank you for explaining, but I think theology is a different science, rather leading to posts as priests, and yes founders of a publishing houes, as this one but not so often politics. We could go for the publishing if you prefer. I have little time these vacation days. He was not my key interest but an ugly red link, see? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:15, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
That hook works a lot better but I'll leave the final call on which hook is better up to the promoter. BuySomeApples (talk) 08:54, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
Thank you both, but in order for ALT1 to be considered, it needs the tick formally below it. I didn't dare to make it that complex, being criticised too often for putting two facts in one hook ;) - I prefer ALT1. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:10, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
ALT1 may need a link to Teacher education, but that's up to you. Grimes2 (talk) 09:51, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
That seems sensible. Added! BuySomeApples (talk) 09:58, 30 July 2021 (UTC)
